Sambe

Short description: Fiber derived from Cannabis sativa

Sample of sambe

Sambe (Korean: 삼베), or hemp Fiber, is a traditional fiber for Korean clothing. The knowledge of weaving sambe skillfully is being lost, has been deemed a national treasure, and specific individuals with the ability were designated intangible cultural assets.[1] Sambe was the primary textile fiber used in clothing for commoners/Sangmin prior to the introduction of cotton to Korea in the late 15th century.[2] A particularly fine variety is andongpo from Andong, North Gyeongsang Province.[2][3][4]

A Korean traditional funeral includes a sambe death dress for the deceased and sambe clothing for mourners.[5] After commercial relations between China and Korea resumed in 1990, Chinese-made hemp cloth began to replace Korean cloth.[6]
